joke. Recently they received circulars
calling their attention TO . new publica-

the new paper would be Avaluable sddi-
ton TO law Libraries, as ils editorials
would no doub. touch on nice points OF
Law, and iis pages contain decisions OF
courts, and other matter interesting to
the bar. many lawyers sent the three dol.
lars, and waited the arrival Of the period-
iesl. Monday morning the windows OF
several Law Offices were raised to let out
the blue streaks Of profanity. and IL wa
learned that "The Bar" u paper de-
voted to the liquor interests. all is edi.
,orials are on the subject Of whi'key and
license, its advertisements are OF liquor
stores, distilleries. breweries. etc., and
there was no. line in the paper that
would in,sres, = sober lawyer. Such II
